Talk: Lina Bo Bardi

With an emphasis on displaying three iconic buildings designed by Lina Bo Bardi in São Paulo – the "Casa de Vidro" [Glass House], the Masp [São Paulo Museum of Art] and Sesc Pompeia – Francesco Perrotta-Bosch will speak about the multidisciplinary character of her work. In addition to architectural projects, their objects and collections will be partially exhibited, thus showing the quality of Lina Bo Bardi's work with regard to furniture, set design, exhibition design and curatorship.
